To evaluate the essential role of Moringa-albumin (MA) formulation in the maintenance of complement regulatory proteins through CD55 and CD59 on erythrocyte (TER-119). ⋯ MA formulation with D3 group (1500 mg/kg (M) + 200 mg/kg (A)) was able to maintain or control complement regulatory proteins (CD55 and CD59) on red blood cells (erythrocytes/TER-119) in DM.

Diabetes type 2 (DT2) is a metabolic disease characterized by high blood sugar caused by insulin resistance and/or insufficient insulin production. The pathogenesis of DT2 is complicated by both genetic predisposition and environmental and lifestyle variables. At least 150 genetic variants have been linked to the probability of having DT2. The aim of this study was to determine the expression of PLD6, CHRAC1, and PDCD5 genes in type 2 diabetic patients. ⋯ There are multiple genes whose increased expression is linked to type 2 diabetes.
-
To propose a new technique of Ertl-type surgery for significantly shortened and valgus deviated fibula stump. ⋯ The proposed technique can be useful in reconstructive operations on the stump of the tibia.
-
To assess the efficacy of Erector Spinae Plane Block (ESPB) compared to caudal block in reducing postoperative pain in paediatric surgery. ⋯ ESPB and caudal block showed equivalent analgesia efficacy and safety in paediatric surgery.
-
To determine the effect of body mass index (BMI) and waist-hip ratio (WHR) on the concentration of circulating sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG) throughout the menopausal transition. ⋯ The value of SHBG during the menopausal transition decreases and women with higher BMI and WHR have lower values of SHBG regardless of the duration of menopause. Considering the connection between SHBG and anthropometric parameters, and the drop in its values upon entering and passing through the menopausal transition as such it can be used as a predictor for an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases and metabolic syndrome in a selected group of women.
